Resourceful beauty

Chapter 2 Prison
"Xuan'er, when mother is away, you have to listen carefully to what your father and elder brother say. Also, don't trust anyone except them, remember?"

The woman on the bed had a gentle and loving face, but her complexion was sallow, and she could tell that she had been lingering on the bed for a long time.

Nine-year-old Fang Ruxuan was already sensible, and when she knew her mother was dying, she nodded obediently.

In the next moment, a woman with appearance somewhat similar to her mother appeared in front of her, either full of affection or with a pink face full of spring, and after a while, she lowered her head with a look of grievance, and a thin layer of crystal clear tears appeared in her eyes , delicate and charming in a delicate and pitiful way.

When Fang Ruxuan saw it, she cried loudly, "Auntie, help me..."

Almost at the same instant, the woman with Liu Mei who raised her head stood upside down with a bit of sternness on her face.

Even in her sleep, Fang Ruxuan shivered involuntarily.

"Save me, save me..."

She only felt that her throat was as dry as smoke. Fang Ruxuan struggled for a long time, and slowly opened her eyes.

In the pitch-black dark room, only a small patch of sunlight could be seen at the foot, Fang Ruxuan closed her eyes feeling a little glaring after just one glance.

When she moved her body, Fang Ruxuan felt that there was a layer of dry grass under her body.

Thinking about it, it was the woodshed in the backyard of Wutong Garden.

"Peach Leaf..."

Thinking that Tao Ye had been killed with a stick, Fang Ruxuan's heart was torn in pain.

Tao Ye is the maid who entered Wutong Garden together with Fang Ruxuan to serve her. Among the group of girls, she is the youngest and the only one who dares to approach Fang Ruxuan.

All the maids and maids in Wutong Garden, because of the nuns in charge, Fang Ruxuan didn't look good, but only Taoye, who turned a deaf ear, would miss Fang Ruxuan when she got good food and delicious food.

Just like this time, under the bright sun, no one cared about Fang Ruxuan's life, but Taoye hurriedly brought her water, and ended up like this.

"Taoye, it was my sister who harmed you..."

Big teardrops oozed from the corners of Fang Ruxuan's eyes and slid down her cheeks. Fang Ruxuan said to herself, "Taoye, in the next life, we will still be good sisters."

There was a bitterness in the air, which made people feel cold all over their bodies.

But how can such coldness match the coldness in her heart?
With a wry smile, Fang Ruxuan murmured: "In this way, they won't die?"

Thinking of this, Fang Ruxuan struggled to sit up.

But seeing the situation around her clearly, Fang Ruxuan froze for a moment.

There is a dark fence in front of him, and the cold ground covered with a thin layer of dry grass under his body. There is a window the size of a bowl above his head. I don’t know what time it is, but a thin beam of sunlight shines through the window and falls on the ground. above, it became a palm-sized aperture.

"Where is this? Isn't it a woodshed?"

Whispering her lips and speaking softly, Fang Ruxuan looked around, but the more she looked, the more frightened she became.

There was only one person in a small empty room, and the one directly opposite was exactly the same as the one I was in, except that it was colder and empty at the moment.

Fang Ruxuan's heart felt cold, but she became more and more confused.

A drop of sweat just oozed from his forehead and slowly slid down to his cheeks.

Reaching out to wipe the sweat, Fang Ruxuan was stunned again.

His forehead is clean and smooth, and there is no trace of bandaging after touching the pillar.

But how could it be?

Fang Ruxuan clearly remembered that when she touched the pillar, her headache seemed to explode. Before she closed her eyes, the smile on Qiu Shumin's face was so dazzling, and her own blood was so bright red, sprinkled on her emerald green skirt On the ground, it looks like a lotus flower that has just exposed its sharp corners in the lotus pond in summer.

Rubbing her forehead, Fang Ruxuan looked bewildered.

Could it be that he was dreaming?
The streams of mist exhaled from her mouth and the bursts of coldness on her body made Fang Ruxuan even more confused: at noon, when she was punished to kneel in the yard, the sun was shining brightly outside, and she almost peeled off from the sun, but this Now, why does it look like the twelfth lunar month in winter?

Struggling to climb a few steps forward, Fang Ruxuan saw clearly that she was wearing a moon-white tunic by following the ray of light coming out of the window.

On the cuffs, there are still flowing cloud patterns embroidered with silver threads.

This set of clothes had already been taken off and thrown away when Qiu Zongde sent people to capture him and imprison him in a farm on the outskirts of the capital. Qiu Mansion.

At this moment, how could this middle coat be on her again?
In those ten years in Prince Qi's mansion, he was pampered and pampered. What kind of good clothes did Fang Ruxuan not wear?But this body is of extraordinary significance to her.

It was made for her mother Su Xin when she was bedridden with serious illness.

Rubbing her clothes, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but see her mother's gentle smiling face, and her heart felt sore and astringent, and tears welled up in her eyes.

When Fang Ruxuan reached out to wipe her tears, Fang Ruxuan's eyes suddenly widened.

her hands...

The pampering and privileges of the past had vanished as early as five years ago.During the five years in Wutong Garden, she not only had to take care of the daily life of the second young master of the Qiu Mansion, but also washed the clothes for the nuns and maidservants who were disgraceful in front of the master. , She also has to go to the backyard to chop wood and light the fire.

After five years of torture, her hands have already been scarred and covered with thick calluses, and in winter, frostbite on the back of her hands is endless, swollen, painful and itchy.

But at this moment, the hands in front of her are much smaller, not to mention, the backs of the hands are smooth, and the palms are soft. They don't look like people who have done a little rough work at all, as if she is still the noble lady of Prince Qi's mansion.

Staring blankly at the pair of hands that didn't look like what she should have, Fang Ruxuan carelessly touched her face and the bun on her head. When she found that no part of her body was the same as before, Fang Ruxuan couldn't restrain herself. trembled slightly.

Why did my hands change, and the bun on my head became a double bun that only a little girl wears.

Why was it summer just a moment ago, and it turned into winter after such a short time?

Where did the wound on the forehead go?
Questions followed one after another, Fang Ruxuan felt that her mind was in a mess, and seeing everything in the darkness in front of her, and the slight movement around her, Fang Ruxuan felt an inexplicable fear approaching her.

"Come on, come on, where is this, where is this?"

Struggling to climb to the fence, Fang Ruxuan clung to the cold iron fence, shaking vigorously while shouting at the top of her lungs, but her voice, which had been weak for a long time, was hoarse and dry, and no one could hear her.

"Girl, stop shouting. This is the big prison in Funan City. No one will come? Even if someone comes, I'm afraid it's time for death, and they will be beheaded. Let's have a good rest and save some energy..."

In the distance, an old man who was basking in the last ray of sunlight in the cell sighed.

Funan City Prison?
Fang Ruxuan was struck by lightning.

Looking down at the clothes on her body, then at the strange little hands, and the arm with no pinch marks under the sleeves, Fang Ruxuan finally understood: this is not a dream, she really went back to five years ago.

If I remember correctly, at this time, it was the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the third year of Ruian.

In November of the third year of Rui'an, the mansion of King Qi was reported, saying that King Qi had a close relationship with the Prime Minister of Annan Kingdom, and gave them the defense map of Dayuan's frontier defense in exchange for 500 million taels of silver, as well as jewelry and antiques. Several.

In that month, Emperor Rui'an, the current emperor, sent an imperial envoy to lead [-] imperial guards to garrison Jiangbei.

After some search, 500 million taels of shining snowflake silver were found in King Qi's mansion. In King Qi's study, several letters between King Qi and An Nan Guozhao were also found.

The evidence is conclusive, the Qi Wang Mansion was first ransacked, and then all the servants of the whole mansion were executed.

Emperor Rui'an was grateful that King Qi was his uncle, forcibly suppressed all the memorials to impeach King Qi and demanded that King Qi be executed, and dispatched all the men in the family to Ningbei, where the four seasons were bitter and cold. Fang Ruxuan also entered the prime minister's mansion at that time. .

For more than five years, Fang Ruxuan's life in the prime minister's mansion was worse than death, while her father and brother Fang Qizhi and Fang Zhengjun were brutally killed while serving in Ningbei. However, the news that reached Beijing was very gentle. Fang Ruxuan's elder brother, Fang Zhengjun, caused trouble in Ningbei Prison and was beaten to death with sticks by his fellow soldiers, leaving him decapitated.

Feeling the biting chill from the iron fence running up from her palm, Fang Ruxuan became more and more sure that she was not dreaming at this moment.

If it wasn't a dream, then he really didn't die?Moreover, it went back to when he and his father and brother were just released from prison five years ago?
In other words, both father and brother are still alive.

Thinking of such a possibility, Fang Ruxuan felt her heart boil, which made her a little excited.

Looking around for the figures of Fang Qizhi and Fang Zhengjun, Fang Ruxuan's eyes once again shed tears, but this time, she wept with joy.

"Daddy, brother..."

Whispering in a low voice, Fang Ruxuan showed a rare smile for more than five years.

In the next moment, Fang Ruxuan looked around the cell.

Fang Ruxuan remembered that when things happened suddenly, the imperial envoys sent by the court arrived in Funan City as quickly as if they had fallen from the sky.

For such an important case, the final decision was made at the trial. It took only three or two days from the conclusion of the case to the escorting of King Qi and his party to Ningbei. Therefore, the people who went to escort them did not separate men and women according to the old practice, but They were locked together.

If he really went back to five years ago, then his father and elder brother are also in this cell.

Endless hopes surged in her heart, Fang Ruxuan stood up and shook the iron fence vigorously, "Daddy, daddy, brother, are you there? Daddy..."

Since even God can't help her, then she can't live up to her fate of living a new life. In this life, she will definitely turn things around and keep Prince Qi's mansion safe and sound.
